The fabric on it has been gathered up so that it has soft gathers near the top of the hip and the bottom hem at the front. At the back it is all gathered into the centre seam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe brevity of the skirt is in sharp contrast with the added volume and fit of the beautiful jacket that tops it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe jacket has a full built-in and hand made boned inner half corset tacked into the interior. It zips in place around you. The outer jacket hooks into place over that with a series of hidden set corset hooks. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe neckline comes down in a wide squared off scoop that leaves the collar bones exposed and extends out to the edges of the shoulders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe edges on the jacket are finished with an elaborate ruffle in a matching silk. The ruffle circles behind the neck, continues down the front, and goes all the way around the hem. It is fitted through the waist and meant to have a slight feel of a peplum over the hips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe sleeves are incredible. Each is extremely full and they balloon out substantially over the cuffs. There is an exaggerated cuff at their ends with a bit of the same fabric wrapped and tied in knot just above the ruffle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThree large fabric roses are placed down the front for the perfect feminine and romantic finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThis would make an amazing going away suit or a suit to wear as part of your wedding weekend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eBoth pieces are fully lined in a handset pink silk. The skirt zips to close at the back and the jacket closes as described above. The pink is a slightly paler pink in person. The jacket has its proper Haute Couture numbered tag in place and both pieces are completely made by hand to Couture standards. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThere is no size tag present since it is true couture.
